Greetings all I’m wondering if anyone can help me. Does anybody know anything about this yeast? I’ve done a bit of digging online and can’t find anything.
I split a batch of pale ale and fermented one gallon of it with some yeast that I harvested some from a bottle of Brugse Zot. Fermentation took off and the beer is down to 1.012 from an OG of 1.049 after four days. I tried a sample of it and it’s very bready/crackery. I couldn’t taste much in the way of hops and the original batch had 100g in it in 6 gallons total.
It absolutely reeked of sulphur for two days after pitching which is common for some lager yeasts but I assumed that De Halve Maan would be using an ale yeast? Or do they bottle condition their beers with a lager yeast? What exactly have I harvested?!
